Princess is the British name in a Southeast Asian flybridge market that otherwise leans Italian and Australian. That single fact does most of the positioning work for this boat: buyers who want a European flybridge but are tired of comparing only Azimut and Ferretti now have a genuine third option with real brokerage depth behind it.
We are not guessing at that depth. Princess is confirmed as one of the five most-listed brands on YachtWorld's Thailand inventory, alongside Lagoon, Azimut, Sunseeker and Monte Carlo. That puts the F55 in the same realistic-search category as those brands, not in the special-order category.
The model has run since 2017, with the first generation built through 2022. A used F55 bought today could be an early Gen 1 hull with several thousand engine hours, or a late one barely run in. Confirm which you are looking at before comparing two listings on price alone.
Princess F55 price in 2026
Expect to pay $900,000 to $1,700,000 for a Princess F55 as of 2026 market range. We built that estimate from Princess's general flybridge pricing tier and from the new-build Princess F50's list price of GBP1.436 million, around $1.8 million, used here as a size-adjacent reference point since a directly confirmed F55 asking price did not turn up in our own research.
Treat the top of that range as an estimate, not a specific listing, until you have one in front of you. Ask any broker quoting a price to confirm the hull year, engine hours and drivetrain, shaft-drive or IPS, since Gen 1 spans 2017 to 2022 and both configurations exist across that run.
What the tropical survey must catch
Most F55s for sale in this region have already sat through several monsoon seasons. Our tropical survey checklist covers the general points; for the Princess F55, have the surveyor also confirm:
- Engine hours and drivetrain condition, shaft-drive versus IPS depending on the model year
- Generator hours and air conditioning capacity for Southeast Asian heat
- Gelcoat and teak condition after tropical UV exposure
- An osmosis or blistering survey on the hull below the waterline
- Stringer and structural bulkhead condition
- Electronics and multi-function display currency, plus any rewiring history
- Charter or brokerage-fleet history, given how often this brand turns over in regional listings

These are estimates. Get a quote from a specific yard before you budget against them. The rule of thumb across this whole class of flybridge motor yacht runs around 10 percent of purchase value a year, covering berthing, insurance, haul-out and routine engine service.
Generator and air conditioning run-time push that figure higher here than on a boat based somewhere temperate, since an F55 at anchor in Southeast Asia runs its systems close to continuously rather than seasonally. Route haul-out and antifouling through a yard that already knows British-built hulls. Our yacht service coverage of Phuket includes Boat Lagoon and the newer Phuket Superyacht Shipyard, both able to handle a boat this size.
Who the Princess F55 suits in Southeast Asia
This suits a buyer who wants flybridge comfort and a British-built alternative to the Italian and Australian brands that otherwise dominate regional listings, shopping where that choice is already well supported. Thailand is that market. Princess sits alongside Lagoon, Azimut, Sunseeker and Monte Carlo as one of YachtWorld's five most-listed Thailand brands, so Phuket and Pattaya brokers see this model regularly rather than rarely.
A buyer comparing flybridge motor yachts at similar money should look at the Azimut 55 for the Italian equivalent, the Monte Carlo 6 for a larger Groupe Beneteau-built option, or the Sunseeker Manhattan 52 for a lower entry price on an older hull. All four compete for the same Phuket and Pattaya brokerage inventory, so cross-shopping them costs you nothing but time.
